Her Return, His Regret by Natie

At the Davis & Co. Company.

Lora had a day when she received private consultations from VIP clients who wanted their jewelry designed by her.

Hannah walked into the office and announced, "Miss Davis, the last VIP client has arrived."

Lora looked up and nodded, "Send them in."

A few minutes later, the door opened and a beautiful striking woman with an elegant poise walked into the office.

Lora's eyes widened slightly when she saw who it was.

The client was none other than, Diane Kingsley, Ryan's sister.

Lora masked her surprise with a professional smile, her stomach knotting with nerves. Why was Diane here? Did Ryan send her?

"Oh stop it, Lora. Call me Diane. I'm not into that formal stuff," Diane remarked enthusiastically as she invited herself to take a seat opposite Lora.

Lora smiled genuinely, feeling no bad intent from Diane. She replied, "Well then, Diane. What can I do for you?"
